...What makes the budget carriers such ornery opponents is their relentless cost cutting. Fernandes, who has dreamed up all kinds of ways to save money, claims AirAsia is the world's lowest-cost airline. He pays his flight attendants to clean planes instead of special crews, which not only lowers costs but chops the time spent boarding at terminals to 25 minutes-about half that of the major airlines. His pilots are trained to land at a later point on the runway and at a slower speed to conserve fuel and reduce wear and tear on tires. Half of AirAsia...
...that the virus has become endemic to the region, with a difficult-to-eradicate foothold in migratory birds, creating a biological time bomb that could go off without warning. With wide-scale production of an H5N1 human vaccine several months away at the earliest, experts are urging governments to clean up poultry farming and transportation, reassess live-market practices and intensify disease surveillance in birds and humans. "We must face the problem, not avoid it," says Yi-or the problem will face us soon enough...
Scientists already know of some moonlets that orbit inside the rings, sweeping areas clean of debris and accounting for at least two conspicuous gaps. Other tiny moons move along the outer rim of rings; these are the so-called shepherding moons that groom the ring edges and keep them sharp...
...toned world, its leading edge dark, its trailing edge white. There are many theories advanced for this--including the possibility that there are hemisphere-wide volcanoes or that the moon is picking up dust as it moves through its orbit, staining its face and leaving the other side clean. "We have all kinds of questions," says Cassini physicist Larry Soderblum. "Were there volcanoes? Were there oceans of some mystical hydrocarbon that froze...
Both Moore and Gibson use ominous, swelling music. Both give us manipulative scenes of mothers grieving over dead sons as the emotive climaxes of their work. Both clean their narratives of anything that might give them depth or complexity. In Gibson's case, this requires removing any thorough treatment of Jesus' message--the whole point of his suffering. With Moore, it's accomplished by omitting critical pieces of evidence or context--Bush's success at decimating al-Qaeda's leadership or the vileness of the police state of Saddam Hussein. These facts might add to your understanding. But they would...
